no, not custom. atm, this is,

Again, this is a different thing. Can we please finally get to know how a native kernel of the same version behaves?

You may want to set udev_log="info" in /etc/udev/udev.conf and USE_SYSLOG="yes" in /etc/sysconfig/hardware/config to get relevant output from /lib/udev/firmware.sh.

And for comparison the same with 2.6.34.1-2-xen ? On -default, the messages clearly indicate that request_firmware() is failing on that file (as expected), but the fact that Xen gets presented with a firmware image at all requires that request_firmware() is not failing as expected on -xen.

The timing is completely different, and the log appears to confirm that the loading of the file fails (as expected) on native, but doesn't on Xen. Neither of the two I can explain without more detailed analysis. I suggest opening a bug report, attaching the full native and Xen boot.msg.
